Here's an article from the church's website.

Any idea how to get a hold of the First Presidency letter that was read over the pulpit a couple weeks ago? It talked about how the Church doesn't endorse the series, but also about how it may open opportunities to talk about the Church with friends and coworkers. My bishop only read part of the letter; I wonder if the whole text is available for members.

I don't know. I'll investigate. From the Church's website it appears that some Church officials have gotten defensive over the film's discussion of polygamy and the mountain meadows massacre. However, I think the unnamed "officials" might actually just be COB bureaucrats rather than the brethren themselves.
